John Fox was named the 16th head coach in Chicago Bears history on Jan. 16, 2015.

He joined the Bears after spending the previous four seasons (2011-14) as the head coach of the Denver Broncos and the nine seasons before that (2002-10) as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

Fox compiled a record of 46-18 (49-22 including playoff games) while with the Broncos. He guided the team to its seventh Super Bowl appearance following the 2013 season, a 43-8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII. The Broncos made the playoffs in each of Fox's four seasons with the team.

A proven leader who consistently produces stout defenses and thrives off a productive running game, Fox compiled a 73-71 (.507) regular-season record with the Panthers that included three 11-win campaigns, two NFC South Division titles and three playoff appearances. Carolina went 5-3 in the postseason under Fox, appearing in two NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl (XXXVIII in 2003). His four postseason road victories rank third in NFL history behind Cowboys Hall of Famer Tom Landry (7) and legendary Redskins Head Coach Joe Gibbs (5).
